MEDIA ADVISORY

Press Conference on Boycott and Criticism of DA National Food Security Summit

May 11, 2021, 10:00 AM, via ZOOM Conference

The Department of Agriculture is set to stage a National Food Security Summit on May 18-19, 2021 which aims to discuss immediate concerns affecting the agricultural sector and inform stakeholders on DA’s “New Normal” direction. For the past years, DA implemented lopsided policies and programs which only burdened local industries, farmers, and even consumers.

As a response, industry players, civil society leaders, and agroecology practitioners will launch a press conference to criticize DA’s food security approaches which are grounded on import-dependence, trade liberalization, and deprivation of economic relief to farmers in the middle of the pandemic.

Moreover, they will announce the boycotting of the DA National Food Security Summit and instead promote a people-led National People’s Food System Summit.

Anti-Dam Dumagat in Rizal Arrested, Second Wave of Crackdown in Southern Tagalog Region Feared

Environmental activist group Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment (Kalikasan PNE) today condemned the arrest of a member of the Dumagat tribe who had been a part of the opposition in the building of the Kaliwa Dam.

“We condemn the illegal arrest of Garry ‘Kurontoy’ Doroteo, an indigenous Dumagat active in opposing the Kaliwa Dam project. This arrest came after human rights group Karapatan raised an alarm over reliable information they have received just the night before that another ‘Bloody Sunday’ type of police-military operation is in the offing,” said Leon Dulce, National Coordinator of Kalikasan PNE.

Doroteo was arrested in his home at the crack of dawn today, May 6, at Barangay Santa Ines, Tanay, Rizal, based on a search warrant issued by a Municipal Trial Court in the province.

It may be recalled that uniformed personnel conducted a string of raids last March 7 2021 across the Southern Tagalog region, which left nine (9) land and environmental defenders dead. Two of them, Puroy and Randy Dela Cruz, were also members of the Dumagat tribe active in opposition to the Kaliwa Dam.

The Kaliwa Dam project has been strongly objected to by different sectors as the project violates several processes and decrees protecting and preserving the culture, ecology, and biodiversity in the area.

Kalikasan PNE said that the crackdown versus land and environmental defenders is a waste of government resources, adding that the Duterte regime should be diverting its attention on its failing pandemic response and abandonment of our sovereign natural resources.

“The Duterte Regime should stop this scare tactic and focus its efforts on defending the West Philippine Sea and mitigating the impact of the COVID 19 Pandemic. These are more urgent issues that need this administration’s attention, over red-tagging and attacking activists and environmental defenders,” said Dulce.

“The Duterte government wasted P19 billion on these bloody crackdowns sponsored by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. The NTF ELCAC should be abolished and its budget be rechanneled to helping millions of Filipinos suffering hunger and disease amid the pandemic,” ended Dulce. ###
